If you read my last post about songs I'm considering for Sci Fi Drinking Songs, then you might be kinda excited to see 19 tracks. In fact, there are two others I am waiting on and I added one more today, assuming I can get a decent recording. That's 22 tracks if all goes as planned.
What the heck am I thinking!?!
I met a marketing instructor years ago. She suggested that I do some split testing (that's a thing) to try and determine how many songs I should even have on my album.
The idea is that just because I have 22 songs to I can put on the album doesn't mean I should put 22 songs on it. In fact, it might hurt the success of some of the better songs to have THAT MANY songs on it.
Yeah. I know. She's probably right. And I will probably prune some of these songs from this CD when I finally get down to mixing and mastering. But right now, I want ALL o of them on the CD. It's just normal. It's not right… That sums me up. At least, there'll be a LOT of fun songs for you to enjoy.
Meantime, I'm working on the Best Irish & Celtic Music of 2013. The show should go online tonight.
